Andrew Cuomo's aides are reportedly trying to plan the disgraced ex-governor's return to public life

To mark the anniversary of the beginning of the ostensible end of his political career, the former New York governor appears to be trying to get back in the game.
Despite projecting an aura of nonchalance, Cuomo is taking direct aim at his enemies. Much of the conversation centered on his critiques of New York attorney general Letitia James’s report on his alleged misconduct, which found evidence that he sexually harassed 11 women while in office, including credible allegations of groping. He described James’s 168-page report, backed by hundreds of pages of transcripts, as “prosecutorial misconduct” and politically motivated.
The timing of Cuomo’s rec-room revival likely has to do with the last of five criminal inquiries into his alleged misconduct getting dropped last week, when the Oswego County district attorney announced there was not enough evidence to charge him for allegedly groping a National Grid employee in 2017. “It turns out in a remarkably short period of time that it did become all bogus,” he told Bloomberg.
While Cuomo refused to answer direct questions about a possible run for a fourth term in November, or even a direct challenge to James in the AG race, there are other indications that he’s setting up for a comeback. Rita Glavin, his attorney, has been holding press briefings to try and poke holes in the AG’s report that caused her client to resign. He has spent over $1 million in campaign money since stepping down, with $16 million remaining to burn, per state Board of Elections records.
